[Scene 1 – Trail to Dark City]
The brawlers are walking along Route 4, just nearing the outskirts of Dark City. The skies are cloudy, and a cool breeze carries the tension of what’s ahead.
Kouchu:
“Almost there, guys. I heard Dark City’s gym is no joke.”
Shauna:
“I hope we don’t run into more weirdo traps this time…”
Sakuro (pointing ahead):
“Hey! Look, someone’s coming this way.”
They spot an older boy with a confident grin, spiky green hair, and a red jacket. Walking beside him is… another Roaracryst!?
Jack (smirking):
“Yo. Name’s Jack. And this is my partner—Roaracryst. Or as I call him… Roaracryst 2!”
Cue dramatic music as Kouchu’s Roaracryst growls and steps forward.
Roaracryst:
“Another me…?”
?
[Scene 2 – The Challenge]
Jack sizes up Kouchu and Roaracryst.
Jack:
“Word is, you’re collecting medals. Let’s see if your Roaracryst can keep up with mine.”
Kouchu:
“Oh yeah? Well, we’re not backing down from a challenge!”
Both Roaracrysts face each other, eyes glowing, tails lashing. A competitive tension builds as they begin a skill competition—pushing boulders, speed dashes, elemental blasts, and pinning contests.

During a pinning match…
Sakuro (watching):
“Roaracryst 2 pinned the original again… that’s the third time.”
Shauna:
“Jack’s Roaracryst is impressive…”
Kouchu looks uneasy, watching his partner get outperformed.
Kouchu (thinking):
“Is he… stronger than mine?”
?
[Scene 3 – The Realization]
Later, while the Roaracrysts rest before a real battle, Kouchu pulls out the Energy Level Calculator Shari gave him.
Kouchu:
“Let’s see what this says…”
He scans both Roaracrysts. The screen flashes:
[Energy Level Match: 1224]
[Result: Equal Power Detected]
Kouchu:
“Wait… they’re exactly the same?”
Shauna:
“Both of them are 1224… Which means it’s not about who’s stronger—it’s how they’re used.”
?
[Scene 4 – The Battle of Equals]
The official battle begins. Kouchu and Jack face off in a grassy clearing. A crowd of wild Crystal Monsters watch silently.
Jack:
“Don’t hold back!”
Kouchu:
“Roaracryst, let’s go all out!”
The two Roaracrysts clash in a flurry of elemental strikes, tail whips, and charged attacks. Each dodge and counter mirrors the other. Their voices echo as they fight:
Roaracryst:
“You’re good!”
Roaracryst 2:
“So are you!”
Finally, they collide mid-air with a massive impact. Smoke clears—both Roaracrysts are standing… barely.
Sakuro:
“They’re both at their limit…”
Mouselette:
“They’re too stubborn to fall!”
Both Roaracrysts pant, but glare at each other with fierce respect.
Roaracryst:
“I’m not giving up…”
Roaracryst 2:
“Neither am I…!”
Before another attack can begin—
Jack (stepping forward):
“Alright, that’s enough.”
Kouchu:
“Huh?”
Jack:
“This isn’t about which is better. They’re both incredible.”
Jack walks over and offers a handshake.
Jack:
“You’ve got a good partner, Kouchu. Let’s call it a draw.”
Kouchu (smiling):
“Deal.”
?
[Scene 5 – Mutual Respect]
The brawlers and Jack sit down by a small hill, watching the sunset.
Jack:
“Maybe we’ll battle again, when they’ve both gotten stronger.”
Roaracryst 2:
“You’re not bad, twin.”
Roaracryst:
“Same to you.”
They both bump fists—literally, tiny Crystal fists.
Shauna (whispers to Sakuro):
“Think Kouchu got inspired by that?”
Sakuro:
“If he didn’t, I sure did.”
?
[Scene 6 – Onward to Dark City]
As night falls, Jack waves and heads off on his own path.
Jack:
“Good luck at the next gym. You’re gonna need it.”
Kouchu (grinning):
“Bring it on.”
The brawlers continue toward Dark City, determined and ready.
?
[End Scene – Light Comedy Bonus]
During the credits, Roaracryst tries to imitate Roaracryst 2’s signature pose… and stumbles.
Mouselette:
“Stick to your own style, buddy.”
Roaracryst (rubbing his head):
“Worth a shot…”
